I don’t know what that title means.\u00a0 I am aware the Oscars were last night, because Donette watched them over at a friends house, but I wasn’t able to fit it into my busy schedule.\u00a0 Compounding the issue, my online paper isn’t working this morning (again) so I don’t know who won.\u00a0 Gosh, hope I can make it through the morning.<\/p>\n
All things considered, that was a rather entertaining weekend.\u00a0 I was oncall so that kept me tethered to the PC a bit more than I’d have liked, but I think I made the most of it.\u00a0 Friday we stayed in;\u00a0 Kind of get into the swing of oncall, so to speak.\u00a0 I can’t remember what we did for dinner but I’m sure it was absolutely wonderful.\u00a0 Enchiladas perhaps?\u00a0 After that we drifted off to our respective TV’s and watched movies.\u00a0 For my part, I saw “Blood Snow” & some other movie which was so awful I have purged it’s name from my memory.\u00a0 “Blood Snow” wasn’t exactly riveting (it was in German and didn’t really make sense even if I could have understood what they were saying) but compared to the second one it shoulda been on the awards show last night.\u00a0 I would’ve just turned it off in disgust, but being Friday night I felt I should stay up until at least 10:00, so I stared at it until the bitter end.<\/p>\n
Saturday worked out to be a decent day, all things considered.\u00a0 I worked through the afternoon, with half an eye on the disappointing basketball game, and then about 3:00 I walked Gabe down to Brookside.\u00a0 Our friends Troy & Laura were down there for an “event” that’s been on the calendar for a long time.\u00a0 Laura has been writing a childrens book called Escaping the Tiger<\/a>\u00a0for the better part of the last decade, and it finally got published, shipped and released.\u00a0 They had a big “book signing party” down at a store in Brookside, and Troy was grilling out back, so I went down to hang out and enjoy the day.\u00a0 It turned into a rather huge event.\u00a0 There were conservatively 250 people packed into the little shop, and unfortunately they sold out of books a bit early, but there was plenty of food and everybody had a good time.\u00a0 And, once again, I got to see still more high school friends I hadn’t seen forever.\u00a0 (Laura is a proud Grandview alum.)\u00a0 The crowd was a bit much so I stayed outside with the grill, helping Troy shovel chicken.\u00a0 He ended up churning out 60 lbs. of drumsticks and several slabs of ribs.\u00a0 I stayed until they finished up around 9:00, then went home and watched “Duplicity<\/a>” with Donette.\u00a0 Weird movie.\u00a0 Not quite sure I ever figured out what was going on.<\/p>\n Sunday we slummed around the house all morning, then headed out for an exciting walk through the aisles of Costco around noon.\u00a0 We loitered there for an hour or so, and then decided to catch some lunch somewhere.\u00a0 We decided on the new Blanc Burgers down on the Plaza;\u00a0 Well, new location anyway, it recently re-located from Westport.\u00a0 I can’t decide if I liked it or not.\u00a0 It was most definitely good, but a bit on the pricey side for a hamburger.\u00a0 But, it was<\/strong><\/em> one good hamburger.\u00a0 (As well it should have been.)\u00a0 After lunch I took Gabe for a nice long walk, to reward him for destroying our living room while were gone.\u00a0 Then, for evening entertainment, Donette & Kelly went over to Susan’s house for a big Oscars party.\u00a0 Boys weren’t invited this year, drat, so I stayed home for a little cinematic entertainment myself.\u00a0 My showings included the soon-to-be-famous titles “Severance<\/a>” and “Killer Klowns from Outer Space<\/a>.”\u00a0 Definitely Oscar-worthy.\u00a0 Oh and I played some solo Rock Band and Big Game Hunter too, that entertained me for\u00a0a few\u00a0hours.\u00a0 I found the “shooting arcade” portion of the latter, where you just blast stuff and don’t have to do any thinking.\u00a0 Perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don’t know what that title means.\u00a0 I am aware the Oscars were last night, because Donette watched them over at a friends house, but I wasn’t able to fit it into my busy schedule.\u00a0 Compounding the issue, my online paper isn’t working this morning (again) so I don’t know who won.\u00a0 Gosh, hope I […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
